Natural-Looking Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is a quick, painless, and effective solution for fixing chipped, cracked, or uneven teeth. At Sierra Dental, our experienced dentists use high-quality composite resin materials to ensure that your restoration will blend beautifully with your smile.
Dental bonding can also correct visible flaws such as small gaps, uneven tooth shape, and discolouration. With the right cosmetic dentist, we can plan a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your best smile.
If you’re ready for this subtle yet impactful change, our cosmetic dentistry team is here to help. Call us today to schedule your consultation!
Dental Bonding: Quick Fix, Big Impact
Many Calgary patients choose dental bonding to quickly enhance their smile. Unlike crowns or veneers, this procedure can be done in one visit, allowing for an immediate, affordable, and impactful smile enhancement.
Tooth bonding is also a very conservative treatment. It preserves more of the natural tooth enamel while ensuring a painless procedure. Therefore, it usually does not require any anesthesia unless recommended by our cosmetic dentist.
At Sierra Dental, we frequently recommend cosmetic dental bonding for patients who want to repair minor chips, close small gaps, or reshape slightly uneven teeth with natural-looking results. The treatment is for a wide group, from teens to older patients looking to improve their smile.
Despite the popularity of this treatment, it is mostly effective for small cosmetic changes. If you have extensive damage or discoloration, it is best to discuss with our team so they can determine if cosmetic bonding is the right fit or if other treatments might better suit your long-term smile goals.
How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?
If you are considering dental bonding to fix your aesthetic concerns, you’ll be happy to know that it can last up to five years. With good maintenance and proper oral hygiene, some patients enjoy the results for longer.
The long-term results of any dental treatment, including dental bonding, depend on daily habits. Avoiding hard foods, quitting smoking, and reducing your intake of stain-causing drinks like coffee and red wine can extend the longevity of your bonding.
With proper care and regular dental visits for check-ups and cleanings, your smile can stay bright and strong for years.
Is Dental Bonding Right for Your Smile Goals?
If you are unsure whether dental bonding is a suitable option for your smile needs, let us help you out with some of the common reasons why our patients at Sierra Dental choose this treatment:
- To restore chipped or cracked teeth
- To fill decayed teeth with a natural-looking alternative to silver amalgam
- To reshape uneven or disproportionate teeth
- To cover enamel discolouration
- To close teeth gaps
- To elongate teeth or make them look more symmetrical
- To protect and repair tooth roots exposed by gum recession
Overall, it is always best to visit us so we can determine if dental bonding is the best treatment for you. Otherwise, we will discuss other treatment alternatives which can serve you and your smile better in the long term.
Dental Bonding Aftercare
Our Calgary cosmetic dentist always reminds patients that good oral care habits make a noticeable difference in preserving bonding teeth. After all, composite bonding is not as strong as your natural enamel. So, a little extra care goes a long way.
Here are some recommendations:
Avoid hard foods
Chew nuts, ice, and popcorn with caution, and preferably not on teeth that have undergone dental bonding, as it can cause early breakage.
Limit dark-coloured food and drinks
The composite resin used in bonding is not resistant to staining. Coffee, tea, red wine, tomato-based sauces, and dark berries can cause staining that may require the restoration to be replaced.
Brush and floss daily
Use a soft or electric toothbrush with a non-abrasive, fluoride-rich toothpaste, and do not skip flossing. This removes plaque and tartar build-up while keeping the teeth healthy and strong.
Do not chew on pens or bite nails
Habits like these can crack or chip the bonded tooth as well as your natural teeth.
Quit smoking
Tobacco is notorious for staining teeth and can discolour your bonded tooth.
Schedule regular check-ups
Visiting us at Sierra Dental every six months helps us monitor your treated tooth and overall health. It also allows us to address any problems, including with your dental bonding, before they become serious concerns.
Many of our patients are happy to share that with the right care, their cosmetic bonding still looks great years after treatment. If you ever have questions about maintenance or touch-ups, our team is always here to help.
